I'll do this. Seems to all be handled in the function addList of gui/session/selection.js.

You're right. The correct behavior (in my opinion) is that if you select another player's entity, in addition to not being able to give it orders, you shouldn't be able to add to that selection. Multiple selections would only be allowed for your own units (unless you use the Control All Units option in the developer overlay).
